Static testing can be done before compilation, while 
dynamic testing can take place only after compilation and

Static testing can be done before compilation - its 100% 
correct

dynamic testing can take place only after compilation and 
linking - its 100% correct

What category do you put Compilation of the Code?
Hope the question is clear!!!!

Thanks,

developer compile the code comes under whitebox testing and
static testing is done while the product is in process of
completion.so it comes under static testing

developer compile the code i.e called unit testing and this 
comes under the white box tesing and white box testing 
comes under dynamic testing .

it belongs to dynamic testing..

whenever developers do the testing, it called the unit 
testing, and unit testing is a part of dynamic testing,

so it is dynamic.

Developers perform unit testing.It falls into dynamic 
testing bcoz developer is actually executing code.

Static testing is examining or reviewing code with 
executing it.

Static Testing is basically when you walkthrough your code
without executing it. So, inspection, walkthrough, peer
review are all static testing technique.

Dynamic testing is when you actually execute the code to
find the bugs. So, compilation is a dynamic testing
technique since we are executing the code.

One more thing, Static testing could be at any level, for
example, at system level, if we are reviewing our test
documents or are performing the documentation testing, we
are doing static testing.

Sorry guys...

As in my previous reply I hv made mistake while tying ans.

Pls read this one.
